remax by the bay: Ground zero for termite wars
- 06/12/19 12:50 PM
If you don’t have a termite bond, get one. If you have one and the renewal rate has skyrocketed, here’s why it happened and what you can do about it.
This spring has been a very active one for termites, those wood destroying insects that can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your home before you can even say “entomology.”
You may have had neighbors were shouting on social media to turn off your outside lights so you’d be protected from the zombie apocalypse swarms. What most of us didn’t know was the wheeling, dealing, litigation reeling had already set homeowners up … (0 comments)

remax by the bay: Prices up for new homes, flat for existing on Eastern Shore
- 01/10/17 02:57 PM
U.S. home prices hit a new peak in October, according to monthly figures, though the data-provider warned that the pace of growth cannot continue forever.
-- CNBC report Dec. 27, 2016, on the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index
The average price of a home sold on the Eastern Shore of the Mobile, Ala., metro area in 2016 was $272,840; the median, $237,207.
That’s fairly pricy, considering Zillow reports that the median home price in Alabama in 2016 was $171,500.
At the moment, the cheapest brand new home on the Eastern Shore is $179,000, while the cheapest new home for sale in the city of Mobile … (1 comments)

remax by the bay: December 2011 home sales in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope sort of ho-hum
- 01/10/12 07:13 AM

On the Eastern Shore of the Mobile, Alabama, metro area, there were 81 homes closed, down slightly from 84 in November.
Average sale prices, as well as the median price, took hits largely due to the fact that 37% of home sales in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope were foreclosures. Another 23% were new homes.

remax by the bay: November 2011 home sales in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope
- 12/13/11 11:37 AM
In the old days – Pre-Apocalyptic Housing Market Meltdown – the fourth quarter was the second busiest time of the year, eclipsed only by the spring/summer sales season.
And then … Well, we all know what happened then.
For Realtors, the rhythms were all off. Everything was out of sync. One month, good; the next, abysmal. Nothing made sense.
But this quarter things appear to be resuming their normal patterns, albeit at a more anemic level.
Home sales in November, rose to 84 over 76 in October and pending sales remain steady at 156.

remax by the bay: Eastern Shore first quarter home sales best since 2007
- 04/24/11 11:15 AM
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
— John F. Kennedy We’ve been taught that change is good, that fondly reminiscing about the old days is non-productive at best and un-hip at worst.
But gasoline for $2.49 a gallon and milk at even less still sounds appealing. How about homeowners’ insurance for under $2,000 a year? And that was just a couple of years ago.
Change is happening faster and faster. To illustrate: A high school counselor told me that our sons’ generation is projected … (0 comments)

remax by the bay: August 2010 home sale statistics for Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope
- 09/14/10 07:22 AM
August showed signs of improvement in the Eastern Shore home market with inventory down and pending sales up.
The number of homes for sale in Fairhope, Daphne and Spanish Fort fell 5.5 percent and pending sales increased 17 percent.
Remember the End-Of-The-World-As-We-Know-It report in late August about existing home sales falling 27.2 percent in July? With economists and journalists taking a minute-by-minute pulse on the real estate market, the patient was almost declared critical. I could - and did - predict that the patient would recover. In fact, Realtors as troops on the ground, sensed that this was yet another trough, … (0 comments)
